Solution

The correct option is C Gaseous exchange

The phellogen or cork cambium, instead of cutting outer cortical and epidermal layers, cut parenchymatous cells of the cortex that rupture the epidermis and forms openings called lenticels. Lenticels permit the exchange of gases between the outer atmosphere and the internal tissue of the stem.
